Hakata Pale

Description

This beer was brewed as the perfect pairing for Japanese cuisine and ramen dishes, made with Japanese Sorachi Ace hops.

Lemon peel and lemon verbena on the nose, with more citrus flavours of coconut, lemongrass, & coriander on the palate, create a moreish pale ale, with a refreshingly dry finish.

We used a pale English malt base, with the addition of some wheat malt to give a full and silky mouthfeel and to compliment wheat-based ramen noodles. Fermented with a specific yeast strain chosen to add subtle 'red apple' flavours, the beer has a distinctive, unique characteristic from Sorachi Ace, a hop variety developed in Japan in the 1970s.
